Figma Slide feature request - Slide Animations

It would be nice to have the ability to add animations to the elements on the slide instead of only between slides. Of course you could duplicate slides and remove the parts you want to progressively reveal but that could quickly clutter the grid.

    I essentially make an ‘animation’ in Figma design with one for each frame and turn it into a component set with ‘after delay’ set. Then I take an instance and put it in my slide

      Yeah! This would be a great feature to have! I’d love to be able to animate elements individually on Figma, much like what you can do on Google Slides!

          I’m just a Focus Group of One, but I really don’t think folks are going to pay for something that can’t even do what Google Slides does for free.

            Come on Figma bring it on, this is the most basic presentation feature ever. Will go back to Keynote.

              This feature would make it the complete package for me. In one file, I'm using 300+ slides to get the animations that I want. With this feature, that would easily reduce it to fewer than 100 slides. 

               

              To me, and I hope many other users, Figma Slides is a wonderful alternative if creating these "basic” animations would be implemented. As it currently stands, it's just too much work to get the functionality present in Google Slides/Keynote/Powerpoint. 

              ​@ksn Thank you for relaying the request. Could I ask what the current status is? It's been a couple of months and I think many are excited to hear what may or may not be in the pipeline.

                Hey ​@Maarten Grootendorst! I know that this is being worked on by the slides team :D But I don’t have the specifics or any ETA at the moment in terms of release. I hope we can get some great updates over to everyone soon.

                  +1 to animating individual elements or frames within a slide.

                  For us, the lack of animation possibilities in Figma slides is the only downside now...  Adding the animation of individual elements with for example a timeline or pre set animations would add a lot to Figma slides. Curious when this will happen?

                    Adding my comment on the same request - there is no easy way to display a long scroll on a single slide. I would love to be able to animate a scroll from top to bottom of a tall PNG within a fixed frame. Most websites and apps these days have content that is only visible upon scroll, and there is no current way to show anything but a static image.
